Tom Corbett for Attorney General
just a reminder that there are important races coming up in november besides just the presidential race.
one of particular importance from the perspective of gun rights in PA is the race for attorney general which pits incumbent tom corbett against challender john morganelli.
as attorney general, tom corbett has proven himself to be a real friend to gun owners. he has, for example, greatly expanded the list of states with which PA has reciprocity for carry licenses.
john morganelli, on the other hand, promises to do an endrun around the state legislature and implement a lost and stolen firearms "law" on his own by impmenting an "attorney general regulation" to that effect. here is the exact quote from his website:
5. Implement By Attorney General Regulation Mandatory Reporting of Stolen/Lost Firearms
The attorney general must implement by AG regulation a regulation that requires the reporting of stolen/lost firearms. This would eliminate “cover” for those who illegally sell guns to criminals and then later claim their gun was stolen when it shows up in the commission of a crime.
he also wants to implement a "gun trafficking unit" in the attorney general's office. we can only imagine what that unit would do.
here is a link to morganelli's website: www.johnmorganelli.com
corbett's NRA rating: A+
morganelli's NRA rating: F
(in the interest of full-disclosure, i also have other issues with morganelli's politics, but just stuck to gun issues for this forum.)
